Pancakes!





Are flat. Well they should be, and do you know what else is flat? The colours on these pages. This is kind of a work in progress, or what I like to call the Ugly Phase of colours, or my colours atleast.


I will post the final colours as and when they are available for any one interested in the whole compare and contrast thing.

mmm...Paintery


Yeah, first blast in painter, dunno what to think. its different. That bottom "Canvas" layer confuses me (is there any way to unlock it?). I certainly found it nicer to work in when useing a tablet then I would if I were doing this in Photoshop.

So yeah, just a super quick little profile. When i get time i will use this somemore me thinks.

Pg 3 Layouts


As the title suggests, these are the page 3 layouts. Keeping in mind these are my roughs, i am actually quite not upset with this page...in fact I am moderately happy, and that's kinda a big deal for me. Of course, i am probably just hallucinating from sleep deprivation, and the illusion of kinda grandeur shall be shattered after my next sleep. Whenever that will be.

pg 2 in the works


Second page ready for inks. Actually had these finished for a little bit, but never got around to posting. Think i will pencil 2 more pages before start inking. I don;t know if this happens to anyone else, but i have found that if i pencil one page, then ink it then coulour it, when i get to penceling the next page i feel really rusty.



so yeah, more pencils to come.

A Page!

So this is my first finished colours on a page. Any one who saw my recognise this from the roughs posted earlier. I made a lot of edits to the pencils and the inks to get to this stage, as both of them came out pretty bad, so that is why they are not posted. They would require more cleaning than i have time to do to make them presentable. The second page will hopefully be done by the very latest tomorrow. Deadlines are closing in, and i am starting to panic just a smidge :S



Back to the page at hand, I was attempting to go for mood colours. I am not sure how successful i was, but i am very new to this, so at least i can only get better? She is supposed to be waking up from a nightmare, so i hope the colours help push that. If anyone has any tips other than burning it and starting over, please feel free to share :)


Oh, and there are words i need to add to this page, but having never digitally lettered before, i have to figure that one out first.


Take care

Variations on a theme?

So yeah, Part of the Face Book sketch group. The weekly task was to redesign a mythilogical creature. Running with an old joke with a freind, we both decided to do unicorns, except i kinda cheated and made her a Centaur unicorn woman thing. I don't know if this even has a name... I am sure somone out there could tell me...

When i get time, i kinda want to colour the sitting unitaur (See that? new name on the fly). I think it will look halfdecent when i tighten it up with some inks and colours.


Below this post are some 3 minuet gestures from a life drawing sesh i did a few weeks back.


Take care all
